[Watch] 'You Can Be From China, I'm From London' – ‘Puan Sri' Parks In Neighbour's House, Meltdown Goes Viral
Subscribe to our FREE A parking dispute in what appears to be an upscale Malaysian residential area has garnered widespread attention on social media, involving an elderly woman who identifies herself as a Puan Sri, whose husband holds the title of Datuk Seri. The incident appears to have begun when the woman had already escalated the matter to the authorities, mentioning about uneducated people and getting out of the house. She was allegedly heard speaking to a sergeant, asking when he could come to take a statement, requesting that the police check on her neighbour, and asking the neighbour to produce a wedding certificate. The connection between marital documentation and parking disputes remains unclear from the available information. She also mentioned referring the matter to Bukit Aman – Malaysia's federal police headquarters. The dispute centred around the woman allegedly parking her car on the neighbour's porch. The Diplomatic Phase (Before It All Went South) When asked to relocate the vehicle, the woman seemed to decline, saying she knew her neighbour's house. Adding another layer of complexity to the situation, she allegedly claimed she couldn't start her car properly and needed someone to come and help. However, it is unclear from the available accounts whether this was due to mechanical issues or other factors. During the exchange with her neighbour, the woman attempted to maintain a cordial tone, saying, 'Don't worry, we are good neighbours, not fighting type of neighbours.' On the other hand, she asked the neighbour to lodge a police report when she was repeatedly told to move her car, which baffled the latter. The Logic Train Derails The woman then claimed the neighbour didn't talk to her nicely, which the neighbour disputed. She then acknowledged that the neighbour had spoken politely, but expressed displeasure about 'intruders come and talk to me.' At this point, she emphasised her status: 'I got a title, my husband got a title, we are not loafers, so I can park four cars in my house.' When the neighbour suggested she park there instead, the woman responded by telling the neighbour not to take video, adding, 'You can be from China, I'm from London.' 'I Am Puan Sri!' – The Battle Cry Heard Round the Internet In what appears to be a separate encounter (evidenced by the woman wearing different clothing), the neighbour asked her not to disturb their workers. The woman responded that it didn't matter whether they were workers or not, instructing the neighbour to 'make sure you have paid the maintenance fee according to our management, please pay to be our resident here.' Despite initially expressing a preference for maintaining good neighbourly relations, when the neighbour politely stated, 'Please, you can go back to your home, this is my home,' the situation escalated dramatically. The woman became agitated about being recorded, asking why the neighbour was taking video. When told 'because you keep coming to my house,' she exploded further, shouting 'am I a convict?' and declaring 'I'm a Puan Sri and I got a title of Datuk Seri here, you know that, you don't have' while pointing at the neighbour. The neighbour calmly responded, 'This is my property,' prompting her to demand, 'Ask who you are first,' before defiantly telling the neighbour she didn't 'give a damn' if the neighbour called the police and the cops can 'come to her house.' The situation escalated beyond the immediate dispute when the woman was heard speaking to what appeared to be security personnel, asking them to verify whether her neighbour had a passport, thereby bringing citizenship documentation into what had begun as a parking disagreement. The Digital Crowd Reacts Social media users didn't hold back: 'You can be from China, I'm from London 😂' – because apparently international origins are now part of parking negotiations. One user quipped: 'She missed her medicine…….. right?' – ouch. The practical crowd chimed in too: 'If I were the homeowner, I'd just call the police and report a suspicious car parked in front of my house. Police would arrive quickly 😁' And the towing company representatives were ready for business: 'Too troublesome dealing with people like this 😂 just call TOWING to remove the car far away.. let's see how big her Tan Sri really is.' kereta sendiri parking dalam rumah orang. lepas tu, gigih melawan fakta. Puan Sri gila teruk sangat dah ni. — Ahmad Nazneen (@ahmadnazneen2) When Parking Wars Go Viral Look, we've all had parking disputes. Most of us just grumble, take a photo for evidence, and maybe passive-aggressively park a little too close next time. But when disputes escalate to involve claims about titles, international origins, and demands for documentation like wedding certificates, it enters a different realm of neighbourhood drama altogether. The incident highlights how everyday disputes can quickly escalate in today's social media landscape. It often leads to broader conversations about social dynamics, expectations of respect and authority, and the differing approaches to conflict resolution in residential communities.

NST Leader: Unpaid traffic summonses
Malaysian vehicle owners particularly resent paying traffic summonses for illegal parking, unless forced by police action. Motorists tend to view summonses in three informal categories. First, local council tickets are often ignored due to their perceived lack of enforcement power. Second, traffic police summonses have more legal weight, as non-payment can lead to arrest warrants. Still, many ignore them, especially for illegal parking. RTD summonses, however, are usually taken seriously, as they block road tax and licence renewals until the summonses are paid. Even then, the most stubborn ignore police and RTD's annual flat rate amnesty offers. RTD said that it collected only RM56 million from 374,024 summonses, far below the potential amount, which could have been double or triple that amount. This suggests that many drivers aren't deterred by blacklisting — they continue driving without insurance, road tax or licences. The police discount, valid until June 30, offers a flat RM150 rate for speeding and traffic light violations — similar to RTD's offer. Here lies the problem. Motorists' blase attitude towards these offers reflects a contempt for traffic laws and penalties. This contempt has translated into more serious traffic offences, and more tragic accidents. Since the discounts don't improve road safety, it's time to scrap them and revive tougher penalties that deter offenders. Sure, that would mean more officers and working hours to round up offenders. Police may have to return to making "house calls" on offenders but it's a necessary price to forcibly change an entrenched mindset. There is a plausible solution: integrate data sharing between the traffic police, RTD, Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) and, while we are at it, the local councils. Under this integration, summonses imposed by traffic police and local councils are automatically recorded by the RTD and SPAD, which immediately blacklist drivers and vehicles with outstanding summonses. Alas, this may not happen in the near future because these agencies and their processes operate independently with little push to exchange data and information. Even when traffic police files a request to the RTD to blacklist certain offenders, the process is tedious and inefficient. Still, this logical and unified system isn't sidelined just yet: there are still efforts to combine the Automated Awareness Safety System, the Automated Enforcement System and the Kejara points demerit system. There's only one problem: this initiative had been lumbering for more than a decade and it is still lumbering.

Gaza rescuers say Israeli fire kills 13 including six near aid centre
GAZA CITY (Palestinian Territories): Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli forces killed at least 13 Palestinians on Saturday, six of them in a shooting incident near a US-backed aid distribution centre in the territory's south. Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that at around 7:00 am (0400 GMT), 'six people were killed and several others wounded by the forces of the Israeli occupation near the Al-Alam roundabout' in southern Gaza's Rafah area. Gazans have massed at Al-Alam almost daily since late May to collect humanitarian aid at a centre about one kilometre (0.6 miles) away, operated by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Samir Abu Hadid, who was there early Saturday, told AFP that thousands of people had gathered near the roundabout. 'As soon as some people tried to advance towards the aid centre, the Israeli occupation forces opened fire from armoured vehicles stationed near the centre, firing into the air and then at civilians,' Abu Hadid said. Contacted by AFP, the Israeli military said it was looking into the incident, the latest deadly fire near the Al-Alam aid point. The GHF began operations in late May as Israel partially eased a more than two-month blockade on the Gaza Strip. The United Nations, which has refused to cooperate with the GHF over neutrality concerns, has warned that Gaza's entire population of more than two million people was at risk of starvation. In the territory's north early Saturday, Bassal said seven people were killed in an Israeli strike that hit a house near Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital. The Israeli military said it was looking into the report.
